Marry a Duke

Chapter 114 What does it have to do with me?

"What does outsiders have to do with me?" Wei Xuan was never afraid of the eyes and opinions of outsiders. He even took Wuyou from Fu Ran's arms.

Wuyou felt a little uncomfortable being moved around, so she twisted her body a little, but after Wei Xuan comforted her, she continued to sleep.

As he comforted the child, there was an unprecedented tenderness in his eyes and brows.

This made Yuan Xin, who was standing by, dumbfounded.

She had known Wei Xuan for a long time, but she had never had the chance to get close to him.

She, Mingyue, was very close to Wei Xuan. She had also seen him from afar several times through the relationship with the Prince Shou's Mansion and had spoken to him, but he never remembered it.

Yuan Xin always thought he was a cold, hard, godlike man.

But he also has such a gentle side in front of his children.

She couldn't help but wonder, if one day she had the chance to be closer to him and give birth to his child, would he treat her and the child more gently.

The affairs of the Wei family were no secret, and she also knew that Wei Xuan had no choice but to marry Fu Ran.

Wei Xuan and Fu Ran had a child because of ***'s intervention, otherwise, Wei Xuan would never be able to fall in love with Fu Ran.

"Cousin." Mingyue saw Yuan Xin standing still, so she turned back and pulled Yuan Xin's sleeve, "We should go in."

"Okay." Yuan Xin came back to her senses immediately and gently accompanied Mingyue into the villa.

The Wei family villa is not small either, and there is no small property under the name of the Duke of Weiguo’s Mansion.

However, Madam Wei is a quiet person and rarely comes to the villa.

At most, he would come and stay once or twice a year, when he was worshipping Buddha.

Lan Yin came even less often. If the Wei family hadn't come together, she would never have come.

This was Fu Ran's first time here, so he had to take a look at the villa. The style was somewhat similar to that of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

When the owner is not here on weekdays, there is a steward to clean and maintain it.

"Mom, I want to live with my aunt and Wuyou." The room assigned to Lan Yin and her daughter was next to Old Madam Wei, and a little further away from Wei Xuan and Fu Ran's rooms.

Wei Nian was somewhat dissatisfied and insisted on living with Fu Ran.

Lan Yin tried to persuade him, but it didn't work at all.

She had a headache. The older Wei Nian got, the more ideas he had. Sometimes, it was really impossible to persuade him at all.

"Nian'er, your uncle, aunt and Wuyou live together. If you go there, it will be too crowded and there will be no room. Would you like to stay here with mother?" Lan Yin advised kindly.

"No, we are out here to have fun. Second Uncle shouldn't live with Second Aunt. Mom, let Second Uncle live here and we move over to live with Second Aunt, okay?" Wei Nian had his own plans.

Lan Yin was speechless and didn't know how to persuade him.

Old Madam Wei heard everything outside the door and came in with a smile to persuade Wei Nian.

"That won't work. There is only one bed in your second uncle's room. If you and your mother go there, your aunt and Wuyou won't have room. Nian'er, be good. If you feel bored, come and sleep with grandma, okay?" Old Madam Wei said softly.

After hearing this, Wei Nian thought about it seriously.

Finally he shook his head.

"Grandma, I want to sleep with my sister Wuyou."

"Wuyou is still so young and needs someone to take care of her. Nian'er is the most well-behaved and sensible. If you go to accompany Wuyou, who will accompany your mother?"

Wei Nian looked back at her mother, pouted, and threw herself into Lan Yin's arms.

"Mom, is it really not possible?"

Lan Yin shook her head silently.

Wei Nian had no choice but to agree sullenly: "Well, grandma, next time we come, can you have someone prepare two beds in Second Aunt's room? That way we can sleep well."

Old Madam Wei was startled for a moment, then she started laughing.

"Okay, okay, next time you come, grandma will have someone prepare two beds."

Old Madam Wei was clear-minded. The fact that Wei Nian liked Fu Ran so much showed that they really got along well. Nian'er had never liked to get close to outsiders. She liked Fu Ran's temperament and thought that Fu Ran was a good person.

Fu Ran is not the type of person who would please others.

When Fu Ran found out about Wei Nian's actions, she couldn't control her laughter.

"Nian'er is so cute——." She also likes Nian'er very much.

She felt that she would rather be in the same room with Nian'er than with Wei Xuan.

But she knew that was unrealistic and unlikely.

"Miss Nian'er is still crying." Qiao'er also wanted to laugh.

"I'll send some goodies over to please her later." Fu Ran decided to go to the kitchen himself and discuss with the chef to make a snack that the child would like.

When Fu Ran went to the kitchen, he ran into Yuan Xin.

It turned out that when she arrived at the villa and booked a room, she asked Mingyue to rest first and she came to the kitchen to help. The soup stewed in the stove here was made by her.

She wanted to stew a good soup and send it to Old Madam Wei to show her appreciation.

"Miss Yuan, you are a guest, how can you come to the kitchen to help? Just tell me what you need. This shows that the Wei family lacks the art of hospitality."

Fu Ran said in surprise. She could see some of Yuan Xin's thoughts. She pretended to be surprised just to see how long Yuan Xin could hide.

She suspected that Yuan Xin and Ming Yue came to Huaen Temple this time because they knew in advance that the old lady and Wei Xuan would also come.

There are coincidences in things, but there are not coincidences everywhere.

If so, someone did it on purpose.

Yuan Xin had a calm face, straightened his back, and had an elegant posture: "Although Mingyue and I are here as guests, we can't just do nothing. I'm just stewing some soup. It's just a small favor, but it's also a token of our love."

Yuan Xin explained, and asked Fu Ran: "Why did the wife of the Duke of Wei come to the kitchen in person?"

There are two cooks in the kitchen, the head chef and the assistant cook. The master of the villa doesn't come often on weekdays, so naturally they don't prepare food for so many people.

The two chefs are usually very leisurely. When the master comes to the villa, he doesn't have many requirements for the menu. He doesn't need any delicacies from land and sea, as long as the food is of average or above average quality.

They lived in peace like this for many years.

This time, the guests and the lady who came were different from before.

When this Miss Yuan arrived, not only did she occupy the stove, she also ordered them to take this and that. No matter how they tried to persuade her, she refused to leave, so they had no choice but to do as they were told.

Now that the lady is here, they can't say a word of objection.

"I'll make a snack for Nian'er." Fu Ran didn't do it himself. "If it's Miss Yuan's kind gesture, I won't bother you."

She called the chef and told him to follow the recipe she had just written down.

And pointed out two key points.

"Don't put too much oil and sugar. Miss Nian'er wants to eat it. Too much oil is harmful to the body."

"Yes." The chef stared at the recipe, secretly surprised. He had never seen it before, but - the method was clear and it was not difficult to start.

"Are all the ingredients in the kitchen available?" Fu Ran asked.

After looking at the ingredients, the chef nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam. These ingredients are usually prepared in the other courtyard."

"That's good, you guys prepare it first." Fu Ran then glanced at Yuan Xin and left the kitchen.
